Ticket prices for khan fight

Post by blade02_02 »

Cant believe the price range for this show only 3 fights listed so far and the pricing compared to that last 2 match room shows r shocking talk about ripping off the fans! At least 50% increase on all prices compared to matchroom shows 75 quid to sit at back of arena

Already been done on another thread but the general concensus was that the pricing was way out of touch.

For me if they brought some quality Americans over I would consider, but they would have to be quality.

Who sets the ticket price? Fighter? Promotor? Arena?
I opened my mouth and said I would take a friend before checking the prices :o She's looking forward to her first boxing show and I'm having to work extra days offshore to pay for tickets......

And to make it worse I don't even like Amir Khan!!!! :twisted:

Isn't it Amir that is always bringing Brook's name up.

Maybe playing the heel to sell tickets for the locals to turn up hoping for an upset.. a la Eubank?

when I watched the Ringside show with him and Brook side by side, I got the feeling that Brook was far more respectful and gentlemanly. Again this might be an act between the two for future gain?

Don't get me wrong, I like Khan and his style is exciting, if worrying for his fans; though this bout seems reasonably risk free

Brook beats Alexander, then we will have something to get excited about and I am sure that will ensure a huge gate, regardless of price.

met both (only for a min each mind) brook was rushing about i just asked any chance of a quick pic said yeah and stood and chatted for a min, met khan asked him said no and to no one in particular why do people always want pics with em (though this was on a night out so maybe he had been asked all night)
